Hey! Me too - I have received the "I am sure you won't respond to my email anyway" message, which is a veiled insult, isn't it?
I'm guessing that he's doing it in an attempt to get a response. Reverse psychology if you will.

Nope.
This has never happened to me.

I have however once jumped to email stage on eHarmony just to send someone a message, telling them that I know we weren't a good match/fit, but that I wanted to compliment them on a really well written Profile.

She did respond, presumably with a "Thank You", but because of a known bug with "Fast Track" on eHarmony, if your Match closes you before you can read the message, the message is lost, and cannot be read. Thus, to this day, I don't know what she said.

Yes. On Match I had a man contact me with an innocuous initial email, then subsequently send me a virulent diatribe about my hair. He asked me about my hair, if it was still like the cut in the photo, and when I replied that it was a very recent photo and the cut was identical, he went balistic about women and short hair and what an insult it was to womankind and how could someone who could have been beautiful destroy her beauty and femininity with this insult to women and God and the Bible and didn't I WANT ment to find me attractive and was I really a lesbian and was I just doing it to taunt men because they could see how hot I COULD have been if I hadn't ruined my looks.....

He was insane.
If not for the fact that he's gone, that sounds exactly like my late husband. Scary to think there is more than one out there.

It's never happened to me, but I did catch two people who worked for me sending nasty emails to people on a dating site. Both of them were married and initially created a profile to torment another member of my team who was e-dating..
Wow. Go team.

As for the question --

it has never happened to me, but a woman I was recently communicating with a lot long-distance from OKC (which has a "match % system based on questions you answer on various topics) told me that a guy had e-mailed her and said,

"I have no idea why [vulgarity] OKC matched us at 93% ... More like 7%! I couldn't imagine dating you!"

I'm assuming he thought she was hot and then got mad when he saw she said she was waiting til marriage?

So this is a totally new experience for me, someone contacted me on a online dating site for the sole purpose of making fun of my body on the sole bases of the photos I have posted!

I mean, I get insulted in real life sometimes when I pass by a jerk or two but I've never had someone go out of their way to contact me on a dating site to insult me.

Has anyone else ever had this happen to them or I'm I just one lucky special little snow flake?

And I did reply - sweet as pie because for some reason I'm not offended or upset. Rather just sad for the man whose life is such that he feels the need to go around insulting people online whom he has never met.
Naw, it happened to me too.

I even once had a girl close me out with EVERY single option on EH. That was crazy.

Lol guilty...I did that when they matched me with my exhusband- I just wanted it to go away- I wish there was a way to block someone I think his mom wrote his profile.

But if someone is going on a dating site just to insult you- they are probably not a very nice person to anyone and I'm sure they won't have much luck in dating! I don't enjoy being around people that put other people down- even if they are nice to me, I like when they are genuinely nice to everyone

Never had it happen, but I have a plan just in case...

If it's over email or if you have it, you sign them up for every nasty porn site you can find and then a few radical church email lists.
Now that's funny!!
